labor and standardized production are some of
the factors which make our products superior.
In addition, factory facilities make it possi-
ble for us to keep standard products in stock
ready for shipment and installation. This elimi-
nates delay which frequently occurs when the
old method of field construction is relied upon.

Culvert and Sewer Pipe
REINFORCED concrete pipe of our design
has proved itself the most popular form of
construction for a wide variety of uses, includ-
ing railway and highway culverts and drains
and sewers of all kinds.
The principal points of superiority are its
low cost, ease of installation, absence of main-
tenance expense, and long life due to the elim-
ination of hazard from fire, corrosion, electroly-
sis, etc. The reinforcement is placed in a single
line located in the region of tension throughout.

Culvert Pipe
Massey Reinforced Concrete Pipe with Bell and Spigot Joint,
18-84 in. Diam.
This pipe is built in three standard classes.
The earliest and most widely known form is the
Class "B" pipe which is the standard pipe for
railway culverts and cattle passes.
This pipe is favored for railway use on ac-
count of the ease with which a culvert can be
put in place, thereby eliminating costly inter-
ruptions to train service. Its use also has the
important advantage of eliminating the expen-
sive field mixer plant with the necessary ma-
terial storage, chutes or wheelbarrow runways
and a big gang. In one of the illustrations on
the opposite page, a concrete culvert is being
laid on a new line by four men with a chain
hoist.
In addition to the Class "B" we are pre-
pared to furnish Class "A" and Class "AA" pipe.
These classes may be used where conditions
warrant for electric railway culverts, highway
culverts and sewers. The three classes men-
tioned above are available in sizes ranging from

Sewer Pipe
Massey Reinforced Concrete Pipe with Tongue and Groove Joint, 12-66 in.
Diameter
12 inches to 84 inches in diameter, the sizes
up to 48 inches being made in 8-foot lengths
and the larger sizes in 6-foot lengths.
The detailed dimensions and weights of
the various classes and sizes are shown in the
accompanying drawings and tables.
For highway culvert work our concrete
pipe has important advantages. It is low in
first cost, and requires very little time to in-
stall, as the trench need not be kept open
longer than the time required to fill it.
Call on us for full information regarding
any problems in the use of culverts or sewer
pipe which you may have under consideration.
We will co-operate gladly.

Massey Concrete Houses
i
- — i
.ORTABLE concrete houses
can be adapted to a wide
variety of uses, such as
telephone booths, switch-
men's houses, oil houses,
cable test houses, station
houses and transformer
stations. They are cast
in one piece with adequate
reinforcement. They can readily be picked up
and moved to any desired location.
These portable concrete houses are compara-
tively low in cost, permanent, practically indes-
tructible, and require little or no maintenance.
They are attractive in appearance, being fin-
ished in a natural cement color on the outside,
and can be furnished with a special white acid-
proof paint on the inside if desired.
The illustrations show a few of the standard
designs with their drawing numbers. There are
in addition other standard sizes and styles en-
abling you to make a selection to meet any usual
requirement. Write for full information.

For telegraph and transmission lines it is
important to note that the capacity of a line can
be greatly increased by the use of these poles
without reducing the factor of safety. Cross
arms can be applied by bolting in gains on the
pole and bracing them in the same manner as
on a wooden pole.
Concrete trolley poles of the Massey design
are low in first cost, they are not affected by
electrolysis and require no painting. A most
attractive finish and absolutely durable con-
struction are provided in the ornamental light-
ing pole. In some cases it is feasible to combine
the railway and lighting poles with obvious
economy.
The data which we have on experimental
tests of these poles will be sent to any one inter-
ested in pole construction.

Massey Reinforced Concrete
Bridge Slabs and Piling
AILWAY engineers are fast
coming to a full realization
of the importance of re-
placing their wooden and
metal structures with re-
inforced concrete as rapid-
ly as they require renewal.
This eliminates repaint-
ing, repairing, and post-
pones renewal indefinitely.
The use of factory -made con-
crete bridge slabs, piling, and trestle bents is more econom-
ical than field work and provides a stronger, better struc-
ture. The first cost is lower and the amount of labor
required for construction is materially reduced.
Factory -made bridge units are produced under ideal
conditions for making reinforced concrete. This eliminates
practically the only valid objection that has ever been
raised to the use of concrete construction, the difficulty
of getting uniform quality in every batch of concrete and
the correct placing of reinforcement.
In addition to the high quality of our bridge units,
the time and labor required to erect a concrete bridge of
the factory-made type is materially less than for any
other type of permanent structure.

The standard Massey bridge slab is de-
signed for Cooper's E-60 loading and can be
furnished in lengths up to 24 ft. The use of
these slabs is not confined to pile trestle
construction. They can be applied equally
well on pier trestles and culverts. We have
developed a lighter design for the ballasted
floor of steel bridges which is also applicable
for the floor of concrete arch bridges, where
the slabs are supported on the spandrel
walls. These slabs are easily handled

by a derrick, making installation rapid and
labor costs low. A small gang can do this
work, which is an important factor.
Massey reinforced concrete piling is being
extensively used as standard construction on
many railways and is being regularly accepted
by the United States government. Its use
produces a very economical trestle construction.
It is also in wide use as foundation piling and
is equally advantageous in this field. The un-
retouched photograph on page 18 demonstrates
that these piles can be driven without brooming.

factory-made bridge units. We can offer sug-
gestions that will mean
a more economical bridge
budget in the future.
